Unless you've been living under a rock since SAW VI hit the big screen, then you know that it's almost time for SAW again, which will be in mind-blowing 3D this year. What you may not know, is that this year's installment will be the final chapter. According to numerous reports and cast and crew interviews, the series, which began in 2004, had originally been planned to hit eight films, and possibly even nine. But, as with every year, this was based on box office performance, and SAW VI did surprisingly poorly when pitted against Paranormal Activity in the box office last year. That spells bad news for SAW fans. Lionsgate is cutting their losses after this year. The storylines planned for SAW VIII have now been incorporated into SAW VII(Or "SAW 3D"), and this will be the last film in the series that forced test subjects to "live or die". Being that this is the last film, it seems as though the people behind the movies are finally giving up some long-sought answers too. The plot is as follows:
As a deadly battle rages over Jigsaw’s brutal legacy, a group of Jigsaw survivors gathers to seek the support of self-help guru and fellow survivor Bobby Dagen, a man whose own dark secrets unleash a new wave of terror...
SAW 3D stars Tobin Bell, Cary Elwes, Costas Mandylor, Betsy Russell, Sean Patrick Flannery, and others. SAW 3D is directed by Kevin Greutert, produced by Oren Koules, Mark Burg and Gregg Hoffman.
For those interested, a few interesting characters have been confirmed as returning for Jigsaw's final game, one of which is the most-anticipated return of the franchise, Dr. Gordon. This much is certain, SAW VII is going to be one wild ride. Fans won't wanna miss this year's installment. Check back for more info as it becomes available.
SAW VII hits theaters in heart-pounding 3D October 29th.
